Integrate Wasserkarte.info into MapTrip 112
With Wasserkarte.info you can easily enter all water intake points in your area of operation and transfer them to the MapTrip 112 GPS navigation map. This way, the driver can see at a glance where water intake points are located along his route or destination. We will show you here how to integrate it into the GPS navigation.
Emergency GPS navigation with integrated water tapping points
Wasserkarte.info develops software for municipalities and fire departments. You can use the software to record all water intake points such as hydrants or fire ponds in your operational area. These are then synchronized with the MapTrip 112 GPS Navigation, an operational navigation especially for fire departments, and displayed on the map. The driver thus sees the water intake points with all mission-relevant information along his route or destination. GPS navigation to the intake points is also integrated.
To do this, you need to perform the following steps, which we explain in detail in each case:
- Registering your company and downloading the MapTrip 112 app.
- Registration on Wasserkarte.info. (If you already have an account on Wasserkarte.info log in with your account).
- Create water intakes in Wasserkarte.info.
- Create access key in Wasserkarte.info.
- Enter access key in MapTrip 112 app.
- Done - The intake points are now synchronized with MapTrip GPS Navigation and displayed.
Please note: The water intake point will be taken over during the first initialization and in the further course the synchronization will be done overnight. This means, all further water intake points created by you will be displayed in the GPS navigation the next morning.
